The Terrestrial Globe 36 by Vincenzo Maria Coronelli represents a significant achievement in the field of cartography and globe-making during the late 17th century. Vincenzo Maria Coronelli (1650-1718) was an Italian Franciscan monk, cosmographer, and cartographer renowned for his meticulous and innovative approach to mapmaking. His globes are celebrated for their artistic beauty, scientific accuracy, and the wealth of geographical information they contain.

Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 36, created around 1688, is part of a pair of globes, the other being a celestial globe, which together provide a comprehensive view of the world and the heavens as understood in the late 17th century. The number "36" refers to the diameter of the globe in inches, making it a substantial and impressive artifact. These globes were commissioned by prominent patrons, including European royalty and scholars, reflecting the high regard in which Coronelli's work was held.

The terrestrial globe is notable for its detailed depiction of the continents, seas, and various geographical features. It includes representations of newly discovered lands and navigational routes, which were of great interest during the Age of Exploration. Coronelli's work is distinguished by its accuracy and the inclusion of extensive annotations, providing insights into the geographical knowledge and theories of the time. The globe also features elaborate illustrations, including ships, sea monsters, and mythological figures, which add to its aesthetic appeal and historical value.

Coronelli's globes were not only scientific instruments but also works of art, reflecting the Baroque style of the period. They were designed to be both educational tools and decorative objects, often displayed in the libraries and salons of the elite. Today, surviving examples of Coronelli's globes are highly prized by collectors and are housed in prestigious institutions around the world, where they continue to be studied and admired for their craftsmanship and historical significance.
